HERO;IN ADDICTION

The dragon is elusive
Chase it down, no escape
Wrap in foil, Turkey is far too warm
Silence the clucking, nodding off

Warm flush, pain free push
Hungry demon temporarily sssshhh'ed
Rapidly headed into the rush hole
Cost of this ride? - your soul

When the frazzle frizzles & you've rinsed it clean
In the pipeline is no relief
Pin your hopes on the direct mainline

Making tracks to despair
The world's tinted Brown
Hints of light & dark
Speedballing, scored own goal

The sound of rattling is deafening
Waves of nausea, ebb & flow
Skag sticks, no night nurse
The aching is killing

Fiending the boot
Cracking up. High is really low
Pop, pop - here's a bag for your head
Farewell Bro, you're long since dead

That junk was expensive
Rock bottom cost you everything
Trapped between 'H'eaven & 'H'ell
Smack, that hit hard
Slip into eternal euphoric slumber

Feeding the Dragon
Battling the demons
"JUST ONE LAST HIT - THIS IS IT! "

The mantra of every Hero;in the mist of addiction. ....
